Jim, Logan, Chad, and I left to go and do Spry Canyon in Zion National Park and so we printed off the map for the canyon and all the info, but we didn't look close enough at the information. So we got there at around 11am and you are supposed to start this one early, like all other canyons and we park our car and then try and hitch hike up to the start of the canyon..after about 20 cars passed we finally got picked up. (Yahoo!) We started up the steep trail to the canyon.. up a mountain side in the hot sun!! We finally made it to the top!! But then found out this is not the spot so we had to climb back down and try going up around the other side.. (which i was not happy to climb down a mountain side) and we made it to the next stop that we thought was the start and we pulled out the map and the boys were trying to figure everything out and we discovered that our rope wasn't quite long enough...OOPS! So we turned around again and headed back down the mountain. But found a little side canyon, chaddy set up the rappel and we headed down.. We decided to call it "My Canyon". We made it down a lot of little obstacles and made it out before dark. Woohoo!! Making it out before dark is a rare occassion. And here are some fun pics of the whole adventure! :)
